"My son also finished Physics last year and ended up completely excited about Physics after that!"

– M G

I have definitely passed on this resource to my friends, many who live outside my state. It is becoming increasingly harder as a homeschool mom to find reasonably priced, quality educational resources though we are inundated with a myriad of pricey choices. I am so relieved that I found these course for my seven children and plan to purchase them again in upcoming years.”

Steven Pollock is a professor of physics and a President's Teaching Scholar at the University
of Colorado, Boulder. He earned a Bachelor of Science in physics from
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from Stanford
University. Prof. Pollock wears two research hats: he studies
theoretical nuclear physics, and does physics education research. His research activities have focused on questions of replication and
sustainability of reformed teaching techniques in (very) large
introductory courses. He received an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship
in 1994 and a Boulder Faculty Assembly (CU campus-wide) Teaching
Excellence Award in 1998. He is the author of two Teaching Company video
courses: Particle Physics for Non-Physicists: a Tour of the Microcosmos, and The Great Ideas of Classical Physics.
Prof.
Pollock regularly gives public presentations in which he brings physics
alive at conferences, seminars, colloquia, and for community audiences. Prof. Pollock was named 2013 United States Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

Ephraim FischbachPurdue University

A professor of physics at Purdue University, Ephraim Fischbach earned
a B.A. in physics from Columbia University and a Ph.D. from the
University of Pennsylvania. In Thinkwell Physics I, he delivers the
"Physics in Action" video lectures and demonstrates numerous laboratory
techniques and real-world applications.
As part of his mission
to encourage an interest in physics wherever he goes, Prof. Fischbach
coordinates Physics on the Road, an Outreach/Funfest program. He is the
author or coauthor of more than 180 publications including a recent
book, The search for Non-Newtonian Gravity, and was made a Fellow
of the American Physical Society in 2001. He also serves as a referee
for a number of journals including Physical Review and Physical Review Letters.
